Russia: Trump's Ukraine Ceasefire Proposal is 'Good Idea'
The Russian government has welcomed United States President Donald Trump's suggestion that Russia and Ukraine should cease mutual attacks.
Russian officials have expressed support for US President Donald Trump's proposal for a ceasefire that would halt attacks on each country's energy infrastructure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov welcomed the idea, calling it an "energy ceasefire" and emphasizing the need to ensure safe commercial shipping and navigation. However, he did not confirm if the Kremlin would agree to the proposal, only stating that Russia should be allowed to export oil unhindered.
Meanwhile, Ukraine reported successes on the front lines, liberating more than 10 square kilometers of territory and cleaning up another 75 square kilometers. Russia criticized a French security initiative to bring European countries under its nuclear umbrella, describing it as "reckless."
